Regarding some "drug" usage
So I'm enlisted as a linguist in the Marines, my linguist contract said check yes if you used any stimulants without a doctor's prescription, I checked no, but I take caffeine everyday, dumb question but does this matter? Also I was prescribed a medication for headaches once(like more than 4 years ago), took it once, didn't work, threw it away. Now I looked up the medication and it said its primarily an anti-depressant, but its also used for headaches and add. The psychiatrist's records will(if they go through all your medical/mental health records) say it was prescribed for headaches. Is this a problem?

If caffeine counted, we would all be looking for work in shoe stores. Appreciate your thoroughness. Noting that the question was, "without a prescription", should not be an issue for the headache medication either.

Thanks for the response, but I should have been clearer in the second part of my question, I'm not asking if the anti-depressants themselves fall under the "no stimulants" clause(they aren't stimulants), but rather if the mere fact that the medication was an anti-depressant would be a problem during the TS investigation process.

If the meds were for a headache, you'll be fine.
If the headaches were from guilt over selling secrets to the Chinese, not fine.

Other than a caution that doctors and dentists need to pay more attention to what the heck they are prescribing and if they don't, going forward, you should, you are fine. Almost have to fight my dentist over, "how about some nice vicodin?" My answer is I will try some nice tylenol, thanks. Yay, us. Cranking out about 1.5 million new opiod addicts a year. What ever happened to: First, do no harm?
Sorry to drift on the question, but 7 of 10 overdose deaths in GA are pharmaceuticals and I was in Kentucky two weeks ago where they are losing 80 a month. Starting to make the cartels look like small potatoes.
